The Hebrews left Egypt a weak people in need of spiritual and civil law; yet when Moses delivered them to the Promised Land they stood strong. Moses, due to his disobedience to God, never stepped foot into the Promised Land. He looked upon its beautiful sights as he lay on Mount Pisgah; God came himself to claim his faithful servant.
Critical Evaluation.
This book left me with a joyful feeling; troubled with doubts about God's true will for my life, this book enabled a fresh new point of view. It renewed my confidence in making decisions; choosing to follow Christ is sometimes very confusing. What if making the wrong decisions denies the blessings the Lord intends, this book cleared my thoughts, and answered questions. "Unbelief never gets beyond the difficulties it is always picturing them, dwelling on them; however, Faith, though it never minimizes the difficulties, looks them steadily in the face, turns from them; and looks up into the face of God, and counts on Him" (170). The book encourages a strong faith in God, the example being Moses and his family; if only we could have the faith of Moses, what would our lives be. .
Mr. Meyers definitely knew how to write an inspirational book based upon the true story of a great man's life, his ability to use the story of Moses in such a way that it creates a need in the reader to strive for such a faith. The author used the biography of Moses to emphasize his character flaws; relating the message in a way that the reader thought of Moses as no more or less than himself. "We make a profound mistake in attributing to Moses extraordinary qualities of courage, and strength of body or soul. To do so is to miss the whole point of the reiterated teaching of Scripture; they were not different from ordinary men, except in their faith" (1). We saw in the book, the story of Moses unfold, born into a family of amazing faith; he died a man of amazing faith.
